How do you start planning?
I started mine by getting a new planner for 2015. It may sound like the most bimbotic thing to do, but trust me, it absolutely sets you on the right footing for a great year ahead. I’ve always wanted to get a super pretty planner, but every year, I manage to convince myself that it’s a waste of money to spend 30 bucks on a pretty planner when a $6 plain black one will work just as well. This year, I decided against all odds that only a nice and pretty planner will do. Spending 30 bucks for something that would serve me for the next 365 days of my life sounds like a really good deal. And so, I got me a baby pink one from Typo! *do a little happy dance*
It’s got all the elements I love – Quilted jacket, metal plate with engraving, pink and polka dots. =)
I kept some stickers and stick markers in the pockets of the planner, so that I can beautify my days as I put in the events and important dates as I go along.
Every planner comes with a matching pen, and mine happens to be a gold pen. So nice!
A new planner is definitely a great excuse to craft and decorate. And so, I spent one afternoon to do up some of the pages to personalize the planner. My printic photos turned out to be very handy! :)
This is just the preliminary – The planner’s gonna get a lot more fun and interesting as I go along, I’m sure! :)
After I finished doing simple touch-ups to some of the pages in my planner, I wrote in the important birthdays, dates to remember and events that have been confirmed for the new year. I feel very organized, and finally can see 2015 in a more structured manner! Loving this feeling. :)
Love this planner because it’s not only got the monthly view, it’s also got daily view for me to pen down thoughts, devotions and ideas that may drop in randomly. Plus, it’s surprisingly light so that it’s not burdensome to bring it with me everywhere I go. Now, I feel motivated to go buy more stickers to beautify the planner. =P
Start planning for 2015, if you have not! =D
